How Green Gifts that Are eco Friendly Can Be Sustained

Posted by Jeffrey Delkin on November 9th, 2015

The idea of green gift giving is gaining popularity as more people see the benefit of gifts and products that promote healthy and safe environment. Green gifts can mean freshly prepared foods, well made products from eco-friendly materials, or even the gift of love, service and support. Perhaps the most sustainable and enduring gift of all. Perhaps the idea is all about making or giving credence to a sustainable and healthy environment. Sustainable gifts are well produced with minimal impact on the environment. Like naturally packaged fresh farm products, fresh prepared food items from whose values are quality, equality, natural and organic with minimal waste are viewed as. Our society is characterized by over-consumption. Our throw-away culture has produced more waste than our planet can handle.

Sustainable gifts can also be given to people during their birthdays and we can develop a very good culture of sustainable gift distribution as a way of promoting the green gifts philosophy. Children are often the first to adopt new trends. Topics concerning the health of the planet, and reducing our waste and valuing the benefit of eco friendly products is a trend we will see continue especially among young people and in schools. Weddings and special occasions are also opportunities and events where we see an increase in green gift giving, and moreover, the use of sustainable materials in not only gift-giving but also in the staging and decor of an event. Gifts are becoming more meaningful. From the heart. Often with a subtle message of take care. Care of each other, and care for the planet.

When it comes to food, it is a minefield of overly processed foods with unknown chemicals and countless ingredients we probably know little about. We are learning every day the harmful effects certain chemicals and foods have on our bodies. Hence, the ability to have access to fresh green products and presenting them as eco friendly gift to our family is very important and is an area that needs to be completely explored. Many health supplements and nutritional experts who are into the business of wellness have been promoting the benefits of plant based ingredients like aloe vera, cocumba, water melon etc. today. A wonderful trend we embrace is the growth and popularity of Farmers' Markets. Greens and goods produced locally. Made with care from small, and often, family-owned businesses. Nature provides well for us. We needn't mess it up with unnatural chemicals and ingredients that could cause harm. Little impact on the planet, and are made to dispose easily and harmlessly or last for years and years. Sustainable products make ideal gifts. They say, I care about you, and I care about the environment.
